Do I Need to Be a Musician to Facilitate Sound Journeys?

If you want to facilitate sound journeys but you feel like you're not musical enough, then this article is for YOU!

Just because I am a trained musician, does not mean that I am more "qualified" to run these sessions than you! It just means that I spent hours and hours learning how to read and interpret music that composers wrote hundreds of years ago and play them relatively well on the piano and double bass. I did this to pass exams, perform well with others in orchestras and to gain a degree in music. 

Reality Check

Playing a crystal singing bowl doesn't take years to master. It has ONE pitch. There is no need to read music in order to play one or seven bowls. You are not performing for exams or concerts!  You are playing for the purpose of RELAXING people in the room. You don't have to "get it right". You won't be "booed" off stage if you play a "wrong" note. You're not being graded. The audience won't even be looking at you. The participants will most likely be half asleep even!

I find it SO interesting that people freak out even about playing a simple instrument such as a crystal singing bowl. Or making a simple sound using their voice. It's incredible how much shame we hold about producing a sound. I understand it though. When people think "music" they think pressure, mistakes, getting it "right" ... the fear is close to the same level as public speaking I feel. 

So, if you feel drawn to facilitating sound journeys but stories run through your mind that stop you in your tracks, PAY ATTENTION. Do not buy into the stories anymore. Let me hold your hand and show you that YES you too can share beautiful sound experiences for groups of people! Playing a bowl is NOT rocket science!  Does NOT require extensive musical knowledge. And you CAN overcome "performance" anxiety just by STARTING!
